We are back with another Saturday New Product Roundup! This week is a shorter update with just a few new products including several new basic LEDs, a new Pre-wired LED, and a new Teensy microcontroller. Lets go have a closer look!

This month is a little bit special for us here at BC Robotics. Five years ago this June, we officially launched the company. It all started in a 10 x 10′ room with a few second-hand desks, a $3000.00 budget for inventory, and a mission to make robotics and electronic components more accessible to all Canadians. We were not sure how far this would go, what would happen, or where we would end up; but with a domain name and an idea, we set off.Read more

Happy Saturday – Just a quick reminder that our showroom is closed today (Saturday) before we jump into this week’s New Product Roundup. We will resume normal Saturday hours again starting next week.

Now, down to business! This week we have a very exciting new addition to our product lineup: The BBC micro:bit, a breadboard adapter for the micro:bit, a mini microphone for the Raspberry Pi, and a portable backup battery from SparkFun. Let’s have a better look:

After a much longer than anticipated wait, the BBC Micro:bit has arrived in Canada! We now have stock of the Micro:bit available.

So what is it? The BBC micro:bit is a pocket-sized computer designed for beginners in electronics and coding. The micro:bit makes getting into these often daunting fields as easy as possible. Programming the micro:bit can be done by computer or by their intuitive app available for Android and iOS devices. Code can be designed using a drag and drop interface in the Blocks editor, Javascript, or Python.

We are back with a New Product Roundup for the week of May 14th! This week we have a few new products to showcase including a small solar panel, low powered water pump, another version of vacuum pickup tool, and a new female spade crimp connector. Let’s go have a look!
